Chapter Ten: The Legend of the Nine-Colored Sky

  Liu Shu Hai's opponent this time was the sixth king of the Copper Stage, Fang Wei Bao, a five-star red diamond with an iron horse divine gun.

  "Down with Liu Shu Hai! Please, sir!" Liu Shu Hai bowed to Fang Wei Bao.

  Fang Weibao looked a bit dull, but occasionally a flash of sharp light in his eyes made people realize he wasn't stupid. Seeing Liu Shuhai, he took action, suddenly raising his long spear and charging towards Liu Shuhai.

  Fang Weibao's long spear was extremely agile and swift, its speed was astonishingly fast, every move aimed at Liu Shuhai's vital parts, although the force was insufficient, his speed had already put pressure on Liu Shuhai.

  "These geniuses are absolutely far superior to those ordinary warriors, if it were an ordinary five-star red diamond, it would not be possible to possess such speed." Liu Shuhai thought to himself.

  The third layer of the first heavy boundary of Lei Yi Gun Jue, the logic of guns!

  "Swish, swish, swish......" Liu Shu Hai's spear technique changed instantly, the originally strange and special 'nature' of his spearplay became even more ingenious, yet subtly contained a sense of heavenly justice, as if it was meant to be that way.

  In the fourth round, Fang Weibao's long spear split into dozens of spear shadows, changing positions and stabbing at Liu Shuhai's chest and abdomen.

  Liu Shuhai casually stabbed out a few swords, the sword tip brought sharp edges to break through Fang Weibao's sword shadow. At the same time, Liu Shuhai released four-star red diamonds, and the long spear was surrounded by a dazzling red light, straight towards Fang Weibao's right chest.

  Fang Weibao hastily stepped back and retreated, with the five-star red flag appearing above his head.

  Liu Shuhai stepped closer and closer, and just as his spear was about to pierce Fang Weibao, Fang Weibao held the gun with one hand and wore a metal fist guard on his left hand, grasping Liu Shuhai's spear.

  "Hmm!" Liu Shu Hai let out a cold hum, his body spinning forward along with his long spear, his left foot carrying a thick red glow, and kicked Fang Wei Bao's shoulder.

  "Peng!" Fang Weibao retreated seven steps and fell flat on his back onto the stage.

  Is it more fierce than 'flesh' fight? Liu Shu Hai has never been afraid!

  Fang Weibao painfully stood up, glaring at Liu Shuhai with hatred. As a five-star red diamond under the age of sixteen, he had always been recognized as a genius, how could his proud heart endure being defeated by a four-star red diamond warrior?

  "You're going to die!" Fang Weibao said, gritting his teeth and swallowing a bottle of red medicine without hesitation.

  Liu Shuhai looked at Fang Weibao's expression and knew that things were going to go wrong. Sure enough! After swallowing the 'medicine', Fang Weibao's body suddenly swelled up, his muscles bulging with blood and his veins bursting out in a dark color.

  Fang Weibao's mouth corner 'exposed' a hint of cruel smile and said: "This kind of 'medicine' is called Devil Saint Water, made from the blood of the demon beast Iron Arm Giant Ape, it can double my strength."

  "What's the point? This kind of 'medicine' is all defective, it must have a great impact on your body. Who can't afford to lose once in their life? Do you want to be someone who can't afford to lose?" Liu Shuhai deliberately said with disdain, and his voice grew louder towards the end.

  When Liu Shu Hai spoke, Fang Wei Bao had a moment of distraction, but soon this distraction turned into anger.

  "Peng!" Fang Weibao threw away his long spear with force, and his body quickly pounced towards Liu Shuhai. In seven steps, he was upon him, his massive fist carrying a gust of wind as it smashed towards Liu Shuhai's face.

  Liu Shu Hai let out a sigh and also gave up his long spear, engaging in close combat with Fang Wei Bao.

  Liu Shu-hai was strong and brave, swift as a shooting star. Fang Wei-bao's fists always fell short.

  Fang Weibao's fist, wrapped in a boxing glove, now thicker than a large thigh, transmitted a tremendous force, like Mount Tai pressing down, and smashed heavily into Liu Shuhai once again.

  Liu Shu Hai knew he couldn't just dodge, seeing Fang Wei Bao's fist about to fall again, the first layer of Tian Gang Lian Ti that was just completed yesterday was instantly activated.

  "Bang!" Liu Shu Hai's fist collided with Fang Wei Bao's fist. Liu Shu Hai retreated two or three meters, his left shoulder and arm throbbing in severe pain, a streak of fresh blood flowing from his right fist, like concentrated sulfuric acid, blasting a huge hole in the arena. Meanwhile, Fang Wei Bao retreated four or five meters, his metal fist guard layer by layer torn and shattered.

  Fang Weibao stared at the boxing gloves in his hands in shock, unable to believe it. How could a person's fists be harder than metal-made boxing gloves?

  Actually, Liu Shu Hai's Qi and blood power do not need to splatter fresh blood. When he operates the Tian Gang Lian Ti Jue, his body is surrounded by layers of Gang wind, making it impossible for people to get close.

  Liu Shu Hai swung his fist and was very satisfied with the Tian Gang Lian Ti Jue in his heart. At the same time, Wei Bao also had a strange idea.

  Fang Weibao naturally refused to admit defeat and angrily charged towards Liu Shuhai.

  Liu Shu Hai gave a resplendent smile towards Fei Er under the stage, clenched his fists and heavily smashed them onto Fang Wei Bao.

  "Bang bang bang..." The sound of fighting continued to ring out, and Fang Weibao soon found himself in a state of being beaten passively.

  The first collision just now was only to verify the power of Qi and blood, and it has been tried. Liu Shuhai naturally wouldn't collide head-on with Fang Weibao again. With Liu Shuhai's skills, how could Fang Weibao have any strength to fight back?

  Liu Shu Hai sometimes soared into the air, sometimes flipped and jumped, his body rising and falling like a willow in the wind, swift as a shooting star, watched by the crowd under the stage.

  Fei's heart was racing with excitement.

  "Fuel for the sea of books!" Faye exclaimed, jumping up and down like a child.

  Soon, Fang Weibao was swept away by Liu Shuhai's fierce wind, covered in blood, but Fang Weibao still refused to give up.

  Liu Shu Hai let out a sigh, after fighting for so long, his strength was almost exhausted! But Fang Wei Bao was still holding on, if this continued, he would definitely lose.

  Liu Shuhai sprinted forward, his legs kicking out in rapid succession. The force of the air at his toes created an invisible whirlwind that ravaged Fang Weibao. Fang Weibao struggled to defend himself, but just as he was doing so, Liu Shuhai's strength suddenly increased, forcing Fang Weibao back five or six steps.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three consecutive kicks landed on Fang Weibao's body, and he fell directly off the stage.

  "Liu Shuhai wins! Fifty gold coins as reward, and promotion to sixth rank of Bronze Stage!" the Yellow Diamond warrior shouted.

  Liu Shu Hai picked up the shocking thunder gun and jumped off the stage in one step.

  "Is it Fang Weibao? Work hard to cultivate, losing once is nothing, don't blame the genius for being too much, if you lose, blame yourself for not being diligent enough." Liu Shuhai held Feier's hand and left the arena, his voice reaching Fang Weibao's ears from outside.

  Fang Weibao looked in the direction Liu Shuhai had gone and fell into deep thought.

  ……

  In the afternoon, Liu Shu Hai went to the store and bought a large pile of materials, making a sumptuous dinner for Fei Er. After dinner, the two went together to the Tian Sha Pavilion behind the Bailin Academy.

  Today is the day set by Leng Tianhong and Liu Shuhai!

  "Book Sea! Are we really going to join the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion?" Fēiér asked, holding onto Liú Shū Hǎi's arm.

  Liu Shu smiled brightly and said, "After joining the Tian Sha Pavilion, killing people will be much more convenient! From now on, whoever dares to bully you, I'll slaughter him!"

  ……

  At this time, Leng Tianhong's body was 'straight' and upright, looking majestic and powerful. His eyes were no longer dull, and when he saw Liu Shuhai and Fei'er enter together, he beckoned them over before heading towards a dark room.

  The dimly lit room was eerily dark, with ancient stairs leading straight down to the ground. The damp environment made Fiona shiver.

  Liu Shu Hai took off his long gown and put it on Fei Er's body, saying to Fei Er: "Be careful not to catch a cold!"

  Fei's warm smile buried itself in Liu Shu Hai's embrace.

  "This was built by the emperor and several ministers of the empire a thousand years ago, ordinary people don't know about its existence." said Leng Tianhong solemnly.

  Liu Shu Hai looked around at the ancient bricks and tiles, puzzled, and asked: "Why did the emperor want to build this place?"

  "Used for long-distance transmission!"

  "What's long-distance transmission?" Liu Shuhai asked.

  Leng Tianhong still led the way in front, ignoring Liu Shuhai.

  Liu Shuhai rolled his eyes and turned his head to one side.

  Before long, Liu Shuhai and others arrived at the lowest level of the dark room.

  A nine-colored light suddenly lit up, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white, and black, the light was dazzling, stunning.

  "What is this?" Liu Shuhai said in surprise.

  Leng Tian Hong yearned and said: "This is the remaining power of the emperor from a thousand years ago."

  "Drilling power? Isn't the highest level of drilling power the Purple Drill?"

  "No! People think that Zi Duan is the peak of a warrior's realm, but it's not. There are still Bai Duan and Hei Duan above Zi Duan."

  "What about this nine-colored drill?"

  "Ah! Listen carefully as I tell you." After some thought, Leng Tian Hong slowly said: "Legend has it that every thousand years, among the warriors on the continent of God's Domain, four masters of divine drills will appear. Divine drills are a special kind of innate drill, they usually don't have any powerful abilities, but only those who possess divine drills can cultivate to the realm of white and black drills. Once they reach the realm of white and black drills, their strength will increase several times, cultivating unparalleled divine powers. However, none of them are a match for the Nine-Colored King Drill, which is already an existence akin to a god. All below the Nine-Colored are but ants!"

  When Liu Shu Hai heard Leng Tian Hong's words, his heart surged with a huge wave. His Ben Ming Yuan Zhuan was not an ordinary Ben Ming Yuan Zhuan. Could it be that he was the master of the divine drill? Liu Shu Hai's heart began to beat violently.

  "So, Lord Leng! How should we repair the Nine-Colored King Drill?" Liu Shuhai hastily asked.

  Leng Tianhong turned around and gave Liu Shuhai a strange look, but still explained: "If you want to refine the Nine-Colored King Drill, you must kill the remaining three drill masters and swallow their original life drills, only then do you have a glimmer of hope."

  "What are the four divine drills?" Liu Shuhai shook off Fei'er's hand and asked loudly.

  Leng Tianhong asked strangely, "Speaking of which, why are you so 'excited'? The mainland has a population of tens of billions, but only four people have obtained the Divine Drilling Technique. What's your business?"

  Liu Shu Hai's emotions were still difficult to calm down, Fei Er saw the situation and hurriedly said to Leng Tian Hong: "Shu Hai wants to know, just say it! It won't cause you any loss."

  Leng Tian Hong rubbed his hands together, thinking carefully: "The four great divine drills each have their own special 'nature', suitable for cultivating specific techniques. Respectively, there's the Burning Heaven Flame Drill, suitable for cultivating fire and wood techniques; the Extreme Ice Seal Drill, suitable for cultivating water and ice techniques; the Desolate Ancient Drill, suitable for cultivating earth and metal techniques; and the Purple Swift Thunder Drill, suitable for cultivating wind and lightning techniques." "Purple Swift Thunder Drill! Purple Swift Thunder Drill! Purple Swift Thunder..." Liu Shu Hai muttered to himself, his drill power unconsciously sinking deeper into his original life drill.

  Leng Tian Hong continued, "Every time a divine drill is born, the continent will be plunged into a bloody storm. All the top universities and families on the continent will pledge allegiance to one of the divine drill's masters, engaging in a fierce battle in the 'Chaos' Demon Sea. In the end, only one victor remains. This process is extremely brutal, with the winning side often becoming the top power on the continent under the radiance of the Nine-Colored King Drill's strong light. The defeated side will be left with countless corpses and will eventually perish. The reason why the Flash Spirit Empire was able to become a powerful nation second only to the Wumu Empire is because its emperor, Guo Wu Dao, became the supreme strongman of the Nine-Colored King Drill a thousand years ago."

  After listening, Fei'er showed an extremely yearning expression, while Liu Shuhai became calmer instead.

  "No matter if I am a god or not, all of this is still far away from me. Let's first advance to five-star red diamond and then talk about it!" Liu Shuhai said in his heart.

  "Mr. Liu! You will also have to rely on a certain master in the future, any master who is not visible at first, but as their strength increases, their identity will be exposed to everyone, you must seize the opportunity to rely on a master with a high chance of winning." Leng Tianhong warned Liu Shuhai.

  "Yes! Lord Leng!" Liu Shuhai bowed and said.

  Leng Tian Hong patted his own forehead and said, "I'm really getting old. Why am I telling you all this? Let's go! We're heading to the Tian Sha Pavilion headquarters."

  Having said that, Liu Shuhai followed Leng Tianhong and stepped into the light.

  The nine-colored light looked dazzling, but as soon as he entered it, Liu Shuhai felt a warm and peaceful feeling that made his spirit more focused, and his previously excited mood gradually calmed down.

  The light faded away, and an octagonal gray stone platform appeared before Liu Shuhai's eyes.

  The stone pedestal is dull and gray all over, with spots and dots on it, looking ordinary, but it has a sense of ancient charm that hits you in the face. Liu Shuhai seemed to see the passage of time, the changes of the years.

  "This treasure was built by Emperor Guo Wudao himself a thousand years ago, and it can take us to travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant." Leng Tianhong sighed.

  Liu Shu Hai and Fei both showed a look of surprise, an object that can bring people to shuttle back and forth tens of millions of miles in an instant? This is also too against the sky!

  "All those who have cultivated to the level of White Diamond and Black Diamond have the opportunity to learn the secret techniques of Divine Communion. Divine Communion is different from martial skills, it has extremely powerful might. Perhaps the previous emperor relied on these secret techniques to create this treasure!"

  Suddenly, Leng Tianhong's tone changed, and he stared at Liu Shuhai with a threatening expression: "This treasure is not even known to the principal of Bailian College. If you dare to spread it out and let others know, I will definitely destroy your primordial spirit, and make you suffer a fate worse than death!"

  When she heard this, Fei's temper flared up instantly. She raised her whip and scolded Leng Tianhong loudly: "You ungrateful old man, do you think you're so great just because you're still alive? If it weren't for Shu Hai saving you, who knows if you'd be dead by now?! And what did you give to Shu Hai in return? A broken cultivation technique! Do you know how badly injured Shu Hai was before he could even reach the first layer?! You actually dare to threaten Shu Hai, you son of a bitch!"

  Fei'er's mouth was quite fast, and Liu Shuhai didn't even have time to stop her before she finished speaking.

  "Faye is really something! This scolding, it's so satisfying to listen to!" Liu Shu Hai thought to himself.

  But these were just inner thoughts, and on the surface, Liu Shuhai's expression was terrified to the extreme.

  "Lord Leng! Fei'er is still young, if there's anything wrong, you must be more tolerant. This is all my fault, the scolding words from Fei'er were taught by me, if you want to blame someone, blame me!" Liu Shuhai said, pulling Fei'er behind him and speaking to Leng Tianhong.

  Leng Tianhong's face twitched violently as he restrained himself from slapping Liu Shuhai to death, saying: "Shouldn't I warn you?! This is a matter of the empire's safety! Just this once, if there's a next time, I'll have the principal of Bailin Academy expel you!"

  Fei was about to speak when Liu Shuhai hastily grasped her hand and said to Leng Tianhong, "Yes, yes, yes! There won't be a next time!"

  Leng Tianhong nodded slightly, but looking at his dark face, he was still in a state of anger.

  "Ah! What was it that your 'girlfriend' just said? You've successfully cultivated the first layer of the Tianxia Lian Ti Jue?" Cold Tian Hong exclaimed loudly.
